GOVT MAORIFICATION PUSH RESISTED
Political parties and government bureaucracies could not persist with an unpopular and divisive programme such as treaty settlements and race-based affirmative action without help. Pressure groups, churches, schools, and universities contribute to the steady Maorification of New Zealand.
The Waitangi Tribunal is the pre-eminent pressure group that advocates for claimants under the guise of a permanent commission of inquiry. The tribunal has been given the status as the sole authority on treaty matters.
The tribunal reinterpreted the Treaty of Waitangi to allege that the chiefly signatories thought they were agreeing to allow the British governor to govern British settlers and chiefs could carry on being chiefs.
Tribunal reports created a new history in which the white colonizers wickedly caused land loss, population decline, and every social problem imaginable. This new official history of grievance is posted on the Waitangi Tribunal website.
Claimants routinely take tribunal reports to the High Court and higher as evidence to obtain judgments that can be used as further evidence in high-level negotiations with senior Ministers to obtain lucrative settlements.
Tribunal reports, judgments, and settlements are recorded in the Encyclopaedia of New Zealand and distributed in textbooks. The new history of grievance is taught in schools and universities. The next generation knows nothing else and are never encouraged to critically assess this history in any different light..
Employees of government departments, most notably health, education, and welfare, must answer “cultural competency” questions correctly or they either won’t be employed or could lose their jobs. These people are required to implement policies based on the new history of grievance.
A group named Network Waitangi runs workshops to ‘train’ government employees. This group is one of many available but tends to err on the side of extremism as it uses psychodrama in which attendees use role-playing to teach how wicked and racist the white coloniser has been. Anti-cult groups call this brainwashing.
There is yet another part to this process and that is the way in which New Zealand culture has become framed with the trappings of Maori culture.
A “frame”, which is a term used in media studies, sociology, and psychology, defines the packaging of an element of rhetoric to encourage certain interpretations and to discourage others. Rhetoric is the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing.
Framing provides a mental shortcut. Since people ordinarily prefer to do as little thinking as possible, frames provide people a quick and easy way to process information. Therefore, people will use frames to make sense of incoming messages.
Therefore, framing functions as a form of mass indoctrination because you are being persuaded to a viewpoint while you think you are being informed. Here are some examples of framing:
* The name “Aotearoa New Zealand” has displaced the nation’s legal name “New Zealand” such as on the new bank notes.
* Landmarks and towns have been renamed or re-spelled -- Aoraki Mount Cook, Taranaki Mount Egmont, Te Ika a Maui (North Island), Te Wai Pounamu (South Island), and Whanganui.
* The Tino Rangatiratanga separatist flag is flown alongside the red, white, and blue New Zealand national symbol on Waitangi Day.
* The national anthem is now sung with the Maori first, then the English.
* Maori-culture welcoming ceremonies and choreographed war dances appear at official functions, school prizegivings, at the opening of government buildings.
* The never-ending push to speak Maori -- only three percent of the total population and 21 percent of Maori speak it.
* Maori branded TV stations, bumper stickers, sports teams, T shirts.
The tribal claim for water takes place within an environment in which appeasing grievances has become the norm. Tribes have worked out a strategy to obtain ownership of freshwater and posted on the Freshwater Iwi Leaders Group website. The plan is for the Crown to:…….
